Mark 6:39
Verse 39 of 56. The 6th of 16 chapters in Mark, in The Gospels.
35When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.
36Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
37But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
40They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42They all ate and were filled.
43They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
